Aim: The aim of the study was to determine the frequency of optic neuritis as one of the intial sings of the multiple sclerosis. Patients and methods: The study was carried out at the Eye and Neurological Clinics of the KCUS and covered 89 patients with confirmed multiple sclerosis. We monitored all neurological parameters relevant to the verification of the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, and ophthalmogycal parameters as well as the condition of visual acuity (VA), visual field (VF), finding in the optic nerve by the OCT NFL analysis. Results: Of a total of 89 patiens diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, 10 (11%) patients had optic neuritis diagnosed, it is statistically significant (Fisher-test 0,036 for the probability level p <0,05). All of the patients with optic neuritis have the nerve fibre defects on the optic nerve by the OCT NFL analysis and it confirms the existence of the positive correlation between the observed parameters. Conclusion: Optic neuritis is one of the intial signs of multiple sclerosis. All of the patients we had the nerve fibre defects on the optic nerve by the OCT NFL analysis.
